Prabhupada, January 31, 1977, Bhubaneshwar: Obedient to God—that means offer sacrifices—then there will be regular rain. And if there is regular rain, any damn land is good for any purpose. Land has been made bad because there is no regular rain.
They… Why the desert is? If there is regular rain, the desert will be also fertile. So it is gradually becoming desert. The whole world will be desert. No production. Suffer. Make your scientific research, godless. All rascals, full of rascals…. There is a proposal. You know that? Just see how great rascals they are. They’ll import water.
Gurukripa: They have done that in California. They have piped water into the desert and made it the most fertile place.
Prabhupada: Yes. What is desert? Desert means no water. There is no rain.
Gargamuni: In Israel, which is a desert, they are exporting food all over the world.
Prabhupada: Every land will be fertile and usable if there is water. That’s all. They are making scientific research.
Satsvarupa: So if they can bring water by pipe, then they don’t need yajna.
Prabhupada: That is also another foolishness. How much water he’ll carry by pipe? Take water from God. That is sufficient. Navadit tarims ca. When there is water supplied by God, where there is no need of water there will be water. Just like on the hills, on the mountains, there is no need of water. In the ocean there is no need of water. But the God… “All right, take water here also.”
That is God’s gift. You rascal, how much water you have got that you transport by pipe and this and that…? All rascals. Mudha. They can simply address as rascals. That’s all. They can simply address as rascals. That’s all. That is my language, always these are all rascals. Godless means mudha, rascal, duskrtina.
They will attempt so many things, simply waste their time and energy. Duskrtina. Because they are rascals. Mudha. Na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah [Bg. 7.15]. And a human being should have intelligence, but they are lower, lowest status of the human being. Mudha, duskrtino mudhah naradhamah. “No, the university education…” Mayayapahrta-jnanah. Everything is analytically spoken. Why all these things? Asuram bhavam asritah.
Because godless, no intelligence. Anyone who is godless, he has no intelligence. This is the conclusion. They are intelligent amongst the similar rascals. Sva-vid-varahostra-kharaih. He’s intelligentsia among the dogs, among the camels, among the hogs, and the asses. They will praise them, “Oh, you are so intelligent. You are so educated.” Not human being. Just like dog receives his master, “Gow, gow, gow, gow.” So what is that reception, dog’s reception?
Similarly, these intelligent men are intelligent amongst a class of men who are compared with dogs, hogs, camel and ass. They are not human being. If some man praises them that “You are so big. You are so big leader,” he’s also amongst this group. Sva-vid-varahostra-kharaih. This is grave thing. Let understand it, that anyone who is godless, who has no idea what is God, he is a rascal. Immediately take him that he’s a rascal.
He may be prime minister, he may be president, he may be scientist, but we shall take him as rascal number one. This is our first understanding. Boka. My Guru Maharaja used to say, boka. So at that time I was thinking, “Everyone is boka?” Guru Maharaja says, “Everyone…” “Even Rabindranath Tagore, he is also boka?” Later on I could understand, “Yes. Everyone is boka.”
